• The indiscriminate use of broad-spectrum insecticides has caused major problems
  with pest resistance, residues in food, environmental contamination, outbreaks of
  secondary pests, and reductions in populations of beneficial insects
• The sterile insect technique  is a pest control strategy which has been used for eradication, and for suppression, containment and prevention, of unwanted insect pest populations
• The sterile insect technique (SIT) is promising pest control method in terms of efficacy and environmental compatibility
• SIT-related activities comprise the mass-rearing, sterilization, and release of sterile insects
• Environmental risks associated with these
  activities can be avoided as long as safety standards and good field practices are guaranteed
• Environmental assessments may
  reach different conclusions in different environmental situations, and pest
  management solutions must be adjusted accordingly
• The use of sterile insects in area-wide integrated pest management  will continue to expand as increasing constraints are placed on the use of chemical pesticides in relation to the growing demand for a cleaner environment and residue-free food
